For Girls Who PLAY the Piano.

A contemporary says the world does not
know, much less does it reward, one-half
of its benefactors. 1t is to be hoped that
a better return than ingratitude will be
reaped by the Stuttgart inventor-Schauz-
enbach by name-who has devised con-
trivance for deadening the sound of pi-
amos. This continuance, to which the
simple name of mute has been given,
consists of the application of fine flannel
to the frame which is found between the
strings and hammers of all upright piano.
Herr SchauZenbach claims that by the use
of his apparatus, which, it is satisfactory
to read, is inexpensive-sound can be
graduated almost to inaudibility, and yet
the quality of the tone is not lost. A trial
of the invention has recently been made
before company of musicians at Stuff
CART and the result appears to have been q
success. The piano mute having been in
vented, all that now remains to be done is
tosecure for it as wide adoption as pos
ble.-EXchange.

New York's Days of Distress.

During the prevalence of the yellow
fever, Q798 when not in attendance on
the SICK was busily employed in making
nails for the coffinmakers. A carpenter
in Warren street kept twelve men con-
stantly employed In making white wood
collins, not painted, which he sold for
S. each. Two stout lads, with a hand
cart load, went daily through the streets,
stopping at every corner and crying out:
Collins, collins, all sizes, only So In
many instances the coffin stood under
the bed of the patient for days and weeks
waiting for him. Some recovered and
paid the carpenter for their own collins.
Undertakes, as profession, were not
known in New York at That period

The fact of having been governor
of Minnesota seems to have brought
with it to the men who have enjoyed
that honor not only longevity but a
goodly portion Of fortunes need.
Sibley and Ramsey still live, blessed
with all that the flesh can desire.
They have verified the old adage,
"And their last days shall be better
than the first. Swift has joined the
"choir invisible," and Miller, too.
Marshall, with all the turnings Of the
wheel-up and down-has come out
on top. Austin has stepped from one
cOZy office to another with ease and
added distinction. Davis found the
governors chair stepping stone to
the national senate. Pillsbury went
in q wealthy man and came out with
honor. Hubbard, of them all, has
Jared the worst, perhaps more through
the errors of others than by his own
judgment. Yet his career is net
ended, and there be many who think
that the "silver lining" will yet APP
pear for hum. It would be notable
event for the State OF Minnesota to
gather these ex-governor's together
at an early day and banquet them,
and then to have each tell from his
own experience the veal and woe of
being a governor.-Pioneer Press.

The Source of Four Rivers.

AhO COuEC6 VI EOuT NlFGTSs
Most people have probably heard the
story of the house in Ohio which is said to
be so exactly balanced upon the boundary
line between the two basins of the great
lakes and the Ohio river that the rain fall
ing upon one side of the gable roof goes to
join the st. Lawrence and the ocean, while
on the other side 1t helps to swell little
brook that finally mingles with the Ohio
and the gulf. There is a more wonderful
place than this In India. Almost 500
miles due west of Calcutta is the Ammer-
kantak mountain, which is place Of great
sancttty in the eyes of the Hindoos, owing
to the remarkable fact that it is the source
Of one Of the large rivers of India and Of
feeders Of three other rivers that are
among the greatest in the peninsula. The
torrents that flow down its sides travel to
all the cardinal points of the compass.
The Nerbudda, which takes its rise here,
winds its way over 800 miles of plain be-
fore 1t empties into the Indian ocean. The
three other great rivers that are fed from
Mt. Ammerkantak are the Godavery, the
Mahanuddy and the Sone.-New York

Almost every month som" new eX-
plusive is invented or discovered.
Dynamite is bad enough, but there
are other chemical compounds which
promise to be still more destructive.
But their properties cannot be tested
except in actual war. 1t is now re-
ported that the famous Keely motor
is about to be utilized for the benefit
OF mankind. The inventor, it will be
remembered. claims that he can
tear down house with a force genera
ted from few drops Of water. But
this power, up to within Il few mouths
could not lie controlled, and so was
useless for locomotive or industrial
purposes. But MIR. keely, is said,
has now invented governor, which
will put this new motor absolutely
under the control of the engineer.
What q mighty revolution may be
expected if half pail of water Will
generate forces equal to the results
obtained from thousand tons Of
coal! This may seem marvellous,
but there is no limiting the possibili-
ties of science.-From DemOrest's
